About this electrical referral website
Byron Bay Electrician is an enquiry and referral website run by Yes Right Pty Ltd. See how an enquiry is handled and how to check an electrician's NSW licence.
Byron Bay Electrician is an enquiry and referral website operated by Yes Right Pty Ltd, ABN 91 664 546 061. It is not an electrical contractor. It holds no electrical licence, employs no electricians and carries out no wiring, repairs or installations. When you describe an electrical job here, the details go to an independent licensed electrician who services the Byron Bay area, and that electrician decides whether to take the job and what to charge.
Who runs this site
Yes Right Pty Ltd owns and operates the website. Its role ends at passing your enquiry on and following up if the first provider cannot help. It does not set prices, book times, inspect homes or supervise anyone. Images on the site, where they appear, illustrate the type of work being discussed. They are not photos of jobs arranged through this website, and nothing here should be read as a review, a rating or a promise about a particular business.
The electrician who receives your enquiry may pay Yes Right Pty Ltd a fee for the referral. That fee does not change the rules that apply to the electrician, and it does not make this website a party to your contract.
What happens after you send an enquiry?
- You fill in the enquiry form with your suburb, contact details and a description of the electrical job.
- The enquiry is passed to one independent electrician who works in your part of the Northern Rivers.
- That electrician contacts you, asks any questions they need answered and may ask for photos or a site visit.
- If they can do the job, they give you their own quote. You choose whether to accept it.
Sending the form does not book a visit, reserve a time or commit you to anything. Availability depends on the provider, so this site is not the place to report a dangerous situation. If wires are down or something is burning, keep clear and contact emergency services or the network operator straight away.
What is the electrician responsible for?
Everything to do with the job itself sits with the provider you engage. That covers the quote and its inclusions, the booking, the safety of the work, the materials, payment terms, any warranty they offer and fixing their own defects. In NSW the electrician who tests completed wiring work must also lodge a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) with Building Commission NSW. Ask for your copy when the job is finished and keep it with your house papers.
Get the scope in writing before work starts, including what happens if the electrician finds something extra, such as an old switchboard that may contain asbestos or wiring that fails a test.
How do I check an electrician’s licence in NSW?
Any electrical wiring work in NSW needs a licence, whatever the size or cost of the job. Before you agree to anything:
| Check | Where |
|---|---|
| Licence is current and covers electrical work | Service NSW licence check |
| Licence type (contractor licence or qualified supervisor certificate) | Shown on the licence record and card |
| Rules on compliance certificates | NSW electrical compliance requirements |
Search by the person’s name, the business name or the licence number they give you, and make sure the name on the licence matches the business that will invoice you. A contractor licence lets the holder contract for electrical work. A qualified supervisor certificate on its own does not.
Where does this site take enquiries from?
Enquiries come from Byron Bay and nearby towns across Byron Shire and Ballina Shire. Our services list shows the kinds of electrical work people ask about, and the privacy notice explains what happens to the details you send. When you are ready, describe your electrical job and include your suburb and a photo of the switchboard if you can.
